Tang's dining table

Their battle continued, but Yun Chu had no interest in watching the battle. The sharp archer shot to death the threatening armored cavalry, and also shot to death those men's horses.

If a group of cavalry cannot deal with seventy or eighty infantry fighting back to back on the ground, they deserve to be killed.

There may be one or two high-status people among these people, but these high-status people mean nothing to Yunchu.

He is now more concerned about whether there is enough food and supplies in Jieshi City, because Naha is still howling with hunger.

Food is the most important thing at this time. This white disaster has covered a large area and there are hungry people everywhere.

An armored cavalry seemed to recognize that Yun Chu was the commander here. While resisting the attack of the black armored cavalry, he tried to communicate with Yun Chu in various languages.

"We are Prince Beluz's subordinates!"

When this person started shouting in Huihe dialect, Yunchu already understood who they were.

However, Yun Chu didn't care. No matter who owned the food in this city, today, it should belong to him, Yun Chu.

There are too many hungry people to care whether Prince Beluz is a prince or not. Today, even if Prince Beluz is here, it will be useless.

When the shouter tried to introduce himself with his clumsy Chinese language, a spear penetrated his neck, drowning the first word in his chest.

I don't know why, but as soon as Yun Chu entered the Western Regions, he seemed to have changed into a different person, and his work habits would quickly correct into a pure Western Regions person.

In Chang'an, he was the county magistrate supported by thousands of people, and a capable minister and official in everyone's eyes who was gentle, elegant, and outstanding in force.

He is a singer and poet who can praise Chang'an as a fairyland.

He is a figure destined to become a Chang'an legend in people's eyes.

However, in the Western Region, he changed.

Since entering the Western Regions, he has not written a poem or an article, nor has he eulogized this vast land.

Anyone who can write poetry or articles will create a poem when they come to the Western Regions.

Yunchu didn't have such thoughts. For him, the Western Region had never been a place where he could express his emotions, but a place where he needed to fight for his life all the time.

Every plant and tree here is in great danger to him, even the wind is more harsh on him than others.

The gate of Jieshi City has been opened by Liang Ying and the others. It can be seen that both Liang Ying and Xiao Yuhua enjoy killing very much.

If the people in this city refuse to surrender, they will naturally face the result of massacre.

Therefore, Yun Chu followed the Buddhist soldiers into the city on horseback.

By the time he arrived at the Lord's Mansion of Jieshi City, all the adult men among the aborigines in the city had been killed by those from the Buddhist Kingdom.

They followed the rules of the Western Regions, and all men taller than the wheel were killed.

Yunchu took a look and found that the wheels in the Western Region were smaller than those on the Lele carts on the grassland. Therefore, the boys left here were not older than six years old.

Before attacking Jieshi City, Yunchu sent people to persuade them to surrender. The people in the city responded to Yunchu's envoys with arrows, stones, and even a few buttocks.

Now, those people's butts are still there, but their heads are gone.

I don’t know who gave them enough courage to think that they could withstand the 20,000 troops led by Yun Chu with only 2,000 men.

However, these people obviously died in battle. Some of them held the throats of Buddhist warriors before they died and bit them. In the end, they both died. They were not killed like pigs after surrendering.

The older children were killed, and the women held the children who were no taller than the wheels and looked at Yun Chu who was wearing armor.

There was anger in his eyes.

Hatring the enemy is the right of women in the Western Regions, because no matter what kind of enemy they are, they will not be killed.

Yun Chu saw the logo of the Ao Cult, just like he saw the logo of the Dashi Cult in Zhezhi City. This city was also a city belonging to the gods.

Cities belonging to gods are generally relatively wealthy, especially those with temples.

People in the Ao Cult worship fire, so everyone here has a red flame pattern on their eyebrows.

Women don't have it. They should have no chance to enter the temple. It's ridiculous to say that female believers of the Western Regions Sect are not qualified to have flame tattoos between their eyebrows.

In Chang'an, drawing flame patterns between the eyebrows has become a kind of decoration. The reason why such makeup appeared in Chang'an was inspired by the Aojiao temple.

Whenever there is a lantern festival held in Jinchangfang, the women in Chang'an City will smear thick white powder on their faces, paint their mouths small, and carefully draw a lotus-shaped flame pattern between their eyebrows. Call it - lotus makeup.

This kind of makeup can easily confuse Yunchu. He had seen this kind of makeup when he went to Japan a long time ago.

Now, anyone with a flame mark between their brows is dead.

Yun Chu believes that in the future, more and more women from Chang'an will draw flame patterns between their eyebrows, because the appearance of a flame pattern on a woman's beautiful face can make their faces suddenly become more agile.

The houses on both sides of the street are the same as those in Qiuci City. They are all made of mud bricks and rammed earth. It is dark inside and you can’t see clearly. From the sounds, it seems that a robbery is in progress.

Yunchu saw a lot of grain in the warehouse of the city lord's palace. He poked the grain pocket with a poke.

It was full of browned wheat, not the highland barley that people in this area are used to growing.

In fact, there is no way to grow wheat here. Not to mention the high altitude, spring comes late and winter comes early.

It was obvious that the wheat was definitely not produced locally and should have come from a distant place.

Yunchu also found some chickpeas, which are something similar to peas, but the particles are larger than peas and the yield is larger than peas.

Whether it is eaten boiled or stir-fried, it is a good food.

Yunchu wanted to know the origin of these grains, and he also wanted to follow the clues to get more grains.

It's a pity that the fat city lord died heroically in battle, and now his body lies at the gate, with all his clothes stripped off.

Yunchu also saw the city lord's wife, daughter, and maids being carried away by a group of old thieves, supposedly to be registered.

The old thieves were serious about robbery. Everything in the city except food was their property.

Moreover, these people were very dissatisfied with the fact that Yunchu gave the results of the last robbery to the Nahaha women for free.

This time, he was willing to continue westward after getting a request from Yun Chu to keep his property for himself.

The old thieves are wary of Yunchu.

Therefore, Yunchu still doesn't know where the food comes from.

There seems to be a lot of food, but in fact it is still not enough in the face of the huge number of hungry people.

Fortunately, after conquering Jieshi City, Yun Chu also discovered that there were a lot of cattle and sheep in the city, but they were not too fat.

He now has certain psychological barriers to raising cattle and sheep. After a white disaster, many of the cattle and sheep he brought from Shiguo and its surrounding areas starved to death.

I don’t know what’s going on with these livestock. They put on fat very slowly, but lose it very quickly. If you don’t have enough to eat in ten days, these cattle and sheep will turn you into a skeleton.

It seems that if Naha's Buddhist country wants to establish a foothold here, it is best to be half-agricultural and half-pastoral, otherwise it will be destroyed by natural disasters sooner or later.

Under everyone's eager gaze, Yunchu asked Xiao Yuhua to lead people to transport these grains back to the Buddha Kingdom. With the existence of these grains, the remaining people in the Naha Kingdom should be able to hold on until the pasture turns green.

It has to be said that the people of the Naha Kingdom are really not greedy. Those Buddhist men armed with various crude weapons are no longer willing to continue to fight with Yun Chu on an empty stomach after receiving such a large amount of food.

Some old former slaves of the Buddhist Kingdom, today's residents of the Buddhist Kingdom, believe that finding so much food is entirely due to the guidance of the Buddha, and the people the Buddha hates most are those who are greedy and insufficient.

Without Yunchu's consent, they put the grains on the backs of camels. If the camels were not enough, they carried them on their backs, just like they joined Yunchu's team like a tide, and they carried the grains like a tide ebbing. Following Xiao Yuhua, they left Yun Chu's army.

These people are all subjects of Naha, and they still need long-term education before they can become a group of truly good people who can be relied on.

If they were not Buddhist people, according to military regulations, Yun Chu should use the eleventh day killing order to kill a group of people, punish a group of people, and educate a group of people.

The Cypriot cavalry were better at enforcing orders and prohibitions. The bad thing about them was that they liked to tease the captured women.

What really reassured Yun Chu were the soldiers and rangers from Wannian County and Chang'an County.

To be honest, the Western Region is really not a place where discipline can be discussed. No matter how well-disciplined the army or team is, it will become unorganized after arriving in the Western Region.

Just because this is the soil where discipline is allowed to breed. The only thing they can call discipline is that the strong have everything and the weak have nothing.

When Wen Wen came to the city lord's mansion, she saw Yun Chu sitting on a beautiful blanket and drinking yogurt, holding a Hengdao.

"I thought those cavalrymen were cannibals at first, but after I caught them, I found out that they were Persian Shassanians. The reason why they stored so much food in Jieshi City was to welcome Prince Beluz. In other words, these The food is actually prepared for our Tang army.

They heard that Prince Beluz had obtained the emperor's promise to help them restore their country. "

Yun Chu looked at him tenderly and said, "Prince Beluz is in Qiuci now. Do you think Pei Xingjian will lead the Anxi army to expedition to Sassanid Persia regardless?"

She smiled softly and said: "It's just money fraud. I was deceived by His Majesty when I was in the capital. I think the beauties, treasures and gold that Prince Beluz brought to Chang'an should have been completely consumed.

That Prince Beluz probably can't even pay for the trip back here. "

See you tomorrow
